It is the highest peak one can reach on the sacred mountain. In 2012, ice and snow made for a treacherous descent from the Dolma La as pilgrims continued walking the 32-mile circuit -- or Kora -- of the mountain. The walk is said to speed up one's personal evolution. This mound of prayer flags was the epicenter of activity of Buddhists, Hindus, Bons and Jains, all there during the Saga Dawa in early June of 2012. https://society6.com/lumen/the-roof-of-the-worldhttps://society6.com/lumen/the-roof-of-the-worldLumen (lumen)Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:15:54 -0800Ancient Chortens (For Sale)<img src="https://cdn.society6.com/cdn/0011/p/3186082_4098207_l.jpg"/>Ancient chortens line the ridges as you make the final steps of your walking journey (about five days of hiking) to Lo Manthang in the Forbidden Kingdom on Mustang (Nepal). https://society6.com/lumen/ancient-chortenshttps://society6.com/lumen/ancient-chortensLumen (lumen)Fri, 15 Feb 2013 23:12:02 -0800Buddha Park (For Sale)<img src="https://cdn.society6.com/cdn/0011/p/3186041_5235547_l.jpg"/>One of three Buddhas holding court at Kathmandu's Buddha Park.
